This made Li Shimin anxious, and he wanted to trade one for one with me.

It seems I'm not bad either... Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ma Zhou's analysis, then looked at Cheng Jun and said:

“Brother Binwang is absolutely right. When His Majesty followed the example of the Duke of Zhou to execute Guan and Cai, Yuchi Jingde was at the forefront. Without him, the chaos could not have been quelled. But it was precisely because of this that he had the deepest enmity with the Emperor Emeritus.”

"If you take Yuchi Jingde's son to invite the Emperor Emeritus, will he agree to come back with you?"

Cheng Jun pondered for a moment and said, "The Emperor Emeritus has agreed."

Xiao Yi frowned, puzzled, and asked, "How did he agree to that?"

Cheng Jun said, "If the Emperor Emeritus did not agree, why would he have boarded the carriage to return to the capital?"

Xiao Yi raised his hand to interrupt him, saying, "No, no, with three hundred Imperial Guards, getting the Emperor Emeritus into your carriage would be a piece of cake."

Cheng Jun explained, "The Emperor Emeritus is such a figure, would those three hundred Imperial Guards dare to presumptuously drag him away?"

That makes sense... Xiao Yi thought to himself, while looking at Ma Zhou, wanting to hear his analysis.

Ma Zhou, arms crossed, also looked thoughtful, and seemed to agree with Cheng Jun's words. He looked at him and asked:

Where is the Emperor Emeritus right now?

Cheng Jun said, "The Imperial City."

Ma Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Have you entered the palace?"

This was also what he was most curious about; he wanted to know His Majesty's attitude towards the retired emperor.

Cheng Jun thought for a moment and said, "After the Emperor Emeritus wakes up, he will go by himself if nothing unexpected happens."

"..."

The hall of the Censorate fell silent instantly.

The two stared blankly at Cheng Jun.

After a long while, Ma Zhou was the first to come to his senses, staring at Cheng Jun and asking, "What do you mean by 'after the Emperor Emeritus wakes up'?"

Xiao Yi was even more direct, exclaiming in surprise, "The Emperor Emeritus returned unconscious? You sent him to the Imperial Medical Bureau?"

Cheng Jun looked at him and corrected him:

"It's not being sent in, it's being invited back, and it's not the Imperial Medical Academy, it's the capital."

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Stop nitpicking at a time like this!"

Cheng Jun shook his head. "This isn't about nitpicking; it's stating the facts. If we follow your logic, Brother Xiao Yi, then I'm guilty of treason and should be imprisoned."

"In my opinion, I simply completed my task without any fault, and even deserve credit."

Xiao Yi was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, "Compared to Brother Chuxia, I've been a censor for nothing. How can you say that?"

As he spoke, he looked at Ma Zhou and asked, "Brother Binwang, why didn't you think of bringing the Emperor Emeritus back after he fainted from anger?"

Ma Zhou was still processing the shock in his heart when he heard this. He gave a wry smile and said, "Even if I had thought of it, I wouldn't dare. I don't have Brother Chuxia's courage."

Xiao Yi snorted, "You dare to criticize the Emperor? Aren't you bold enough?"

Ma Zhou shook his head. "But Brother Chuxia dared to burn petitions and appeal to the Jade Emperor, while I don't have that kind of courage. So there are some things he dares to do, but I don't."

"Brother Chuxia, what are your plans next?"

Ma Zhou turned to look at Cheng Jun and asked:

"Although you have 'invited' the retired emperor back, once he wakes up and makes a scene at the Imperial Medical Bureau, it will become known throughout the court, and it will be even more difficult to handle."

Cheng Jun stroked his chin and said, "Brother Binwang, your analysis is excellent. You have pointed out the key to the problem at a glance: to keep the entire court from knowing that the Emperor Emeritus had caused such a scene at the Imperial Medical Bureau."

"Then, solving this problem becomes very simple: just keep all the civil and military officials away from the Imperial Medical Bureau."

"..."

Ma Zhou remained silent.

Xiao Yi exclaimed in shock, "Can it be understood this way?"

Cheng Jun smiled and said, "Of course."

Xiao Yi said, "Why didn't I think of this interpretation before?"

Cheng Jun looked at him seriously, "Because you haven't met me."

"..."

This time, Xiao Yi was also rendered speechless.

Ma Zhou looked at Cheng Jun with complicated emotions. Cheng Jun's method of asking for help was quite unexpected, but upon closer reflection, it seemed to make perfect sense.

Cheng Jun's style of doing things is characterized by being unpredictable, yet he always manages to achieve the right results by sheer luck.

Ma Zhou asked, "If the Emperor Emeritus wants to leave, can you stop him?"

Cheng Jun countered, "What if I stop them?"

Ma Zhou asked curiously, "How are you going to stop them?"

Cheng Jun shook his head and said, "Don't worry about how I stop you, just tell me what will happen if I do manage to stop you?"

"Then everything will be fine."

Ma Zhou analyzed, "Your Majesty has not only gained a good reputation, but you have also accomplished a great feat. The people are overjoyed, and the court officials are all excited. Everyone is happy except for the Emperor Emeritus."

After speaking, he looked at Cheng Jun again and asked:

"So, how are you going to deal with the retired emperor after he wakes up?"

Cheng Jun pondered for a moment and said, "I need to go see Doctor Wen first."

"Dr. Wen has gone home."

Xiao Yi reminded him.

Cheng Jun stood up and said, "I'll go find him."

At this moment, Xiao Yi's voice rang out again: "Do you know where Doctor Wen lives?"

Cheng Jun grunted; he really didn't know Wen Yanbo's exact address.

Xiao Yi laughed and said, "You don't even know where his house is, how are you going to find it? I'll go instead."

"I'm counting on you, Brother Xiao Yi."

Cheng Jun cupped his hands in greeting and instructed, "When you see Doctor Wen, tell him that I have brought the Emperor Emeritus back. If he asks you anything else, say that you know nothing about it."

"understand!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand and strode away from the Censorate.

After a long while, Xiao Yi's voice came in:

"Brother Chuxia, I have brought Doctor Wen with me!"

Cheng Jun was discussing with Ma Zhou the process of inviting the retired emperor, which gave him a slight shock, when he suddenly heard Xiao Yi's voice and turned around.

Xiao Yi walked ahead, followed closely by Wen Yanbo, who was dressed in a purple robe and wore a black hat, with a solemn expression.

Seeing that Cheng Jun and Ma Zhou were about to stand up and bow, Wen Yanbo raised his hand to stop them and asked directly:

"Cheng Jun, I heard from Xiao Yi that you brought the Emperor Emeritus back?"

Cheng Jun nodded and said, "That's right."

Wen Yanbo hurriedly asked, "Where is the Emperor Emeritus?"

Cheng Jun said, "The Emperor Emeritus is currently at the Imperial Medical Bureau."

Wen Yanbo asked in astonishment, "The Imperial Medical Academy? You sent the Emperor Emeritus to the Imperial Medical Academy?"

Cheng Jun nodded and said, "That's right."

Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "Once the Emperor Emeritus wakes up, he will surely complain to His Majesty. But you are the censor personally selected by His Majesty, so he certainly doesn't want to punish you severely. Aren't you putting His Majesty in a difficult position?"

"Dr. Wen is absolutely right."

Cheng Jun said, "So I plan to shut the Emperor Emeritus up."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yanbo's pupils dilated as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had struck, and he decisively turned around and said:

"I have some urgent matters to attend to at home, so I must take my leave!"
